Got a confession to make myself too: before I started posting here I was actively posting new chapters on the .ml community. Some heavy arguing (I abstained from it, but it was quite unpleasant to be dropped into) later and I went for greener pastures.
While I am probably quite older than the majority here being in my mid-40s, I really enjoy the relaxed environment. There's no rush to post chapters for some ephemeral 'karma', and I can post as many villainess and shōjo as I want without being critized for it.
So, thank you @[email protected] for this space and let's go for another 100 years!
If there's 1 criticism I have about that, it's that I have a lot less time for other manga haha
Good, another one to the dark side!
Having someone older helps validate that maybe it’s ok to have this as a hobby.
If you enjoy it and it's not illegal, everything is ok to be a hobby. That's how I see it.
I am in my late 30's, so we aren't too far off there. I also appreciate how the smaller size means that I don't need to race to read chapters. I often will read a chapter a couple days after it comes out and then go to the post that somebody else made where we can have a dialog. It's similar for the anime episodes as well, where I can go back into a thread a couple days later and still have a conversation. The speed at which huge communities like the subreddits move can be too fast for me to keep up with.
Same. Other than those few exceptions where I rush to read new chapters, I usually let some backlog build before I start tearing them down.
Glares at Mikadono
I would never rush to read a chapter. Nooo, why would you think that?

Ah fellow oldie. I'm only in my early 30s, but I'm old enough to not understand newer jargon from the younger crowds. Agreed with your point on subreddits.
